Why is the national treasure of acupuncture so "magical"?

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy. Acupuncture has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on many diseases, such as stroke, gout, lumbago and so on, and acupuncture has almost no side effects. Let's introduce what acupuncture is and why acupuncture is so "magical".

1. What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture means acupuncture.

Acupuncture means that under the guidance of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the filiform needle is pierced into the patient's body at a certain angle, and acupuncture methods such as twisting and lifting are used to stimulate acupuncture points in specific parts of the human body and dredge meridians to achieve the effect of treating diseases. Puncture points are called human acupoints, or acupoints for short.

Moxibustion is to burn, smoke and iron acupuncture points on the body surface with prefabricated moxibustion grass or moxibustion pot, and to prevent and treat diseases with heat stimulation. Wormwood is generally used, so it is generally called moxibustion.

Acupuncture consists of "needle" and "moxibustion", which is one of the important components of oriental medicine. Its contents include acupuncture theory, acupoints, acupuncture techniques and related instruments. In the process of its formation, application and development, it has distinctive Chinese national culture and regional characteristics, and is a valuable heritage based on Chinese national culture and scientific tradition.

Second, the principle of acupuncture and moxibustion

Acupuncture is to dredge meridians by stimulating acupoints, improve people's self-healing ability, call the body's own immunity and repair power to treat and prevent diseases, and adjust the imbalance in the body. Locally dredge meridians, relieve muscle spasm, make qi and blood run smoothly, metabolize local edema and metabolites in time, and achieve the effect of general principle without pain.

3. What diseases are suitable for acupuncture treatment?

1. Bone injury diseases

Lumbar disc herniation, ankylosing spondylitis, cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, lumbago and leg pain, etc. Acupuncture can improve the blood flow speed, thus quickly eliminating edema, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, relieving muscle spasm and relieving vascular compression. Therefore, it has an immediate effect on improving symptoms such as pain and numbness.

2. Endocrine disorders

Acupuncture can regulate the imbalance in the human body, regulate endocrine abnormalities, or obesity caused by hormonal problems. Can achieve the goal of healthy weight loss.

3. Sub-health conditioning

Bronchitis, rhinitis, chronic fatigue, kidney deficiency and other problems.

Sub-health is mainly divided into two types. One is that the patient has no feeling, but suffers from a long-term chronic disease, and there is no discomfort when it does not attack. The other is that the patient feels unwell, but no disease is found after the examination. Both cases were treated with acupuncture, which had good therapeutic effect.

Fourth, the advantages of acupuncture therapy

1. Dredge meridians

The function of dredging collaterals is to dredge blocked meridians and exert their normal physiological functions, which is the most basic therapeutic function of acupuncture.

The role of acupuncture and moxibustion in harmonizing yin and yang is to adjust the body from the unbalanced state of yin and yang to the balanced state, which is also the ultimate goal of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.

In a word, acupuncture has many effects on the body. The main functions of acupuncture and moxibustion are "benign two-way adjustment", "analgesic effect" and "enhancing the body's resistance".

These are the reasons why acupuncture can cure diseases and the "magic" of acupuncture.
